The Bottom Line The Denon DHT-486DV home theater in a box has exceptional build quality, features, and performance, but it's tough to set up and lacks HDMI connectivity. The Onkyo HT-S91000THX breaks the HTIB mold, offering four HDMI inputs, full-size speakers, and the best sound we've heard to date from an all-in-one system. With its abundant feature set, great sound quality, eye-catching design, and superlative ease of use, iPod-friendly Denon S-301 2.1 home-theater system is the best we've reviewed so far. Sony's HT-CT100 soundbar/subwoofer audio system is a phenomenal value that sounds great with movies and music. While it's a bit lean on features, Denon's compact DHT-FS3 delivers big room-filling sound.
